Today is Deng Xiaoping’s birthday. He was born in 1904 in Sichuan, fought as a hard-nosed communist revolutionary against the Japanese, Western imperialists and the fascist KMT. Deng was in and out of Mao’s good graces 1949-1976, became the country’s unofficial paramount leader 1978-1989, to oversee China’s economic reform and opening up era, and passed away in 1997.
